The long-awaited sequel (first volume of four) to the exciting "Angel Brings Fire" series of superhero / modern fantasy novels, has arrived! After desperate, life-or-death battles on the remote Alaskan island of Amchitka, the tables are turned on the imposter-President of the unstable, misgoverned United States of the 2040s, as the newly-rescued, superhuman Sam Jacobson and Minnie Chu teams depart on conflicted quests to reform America. Both teams aim to save the country from the Storied Watcher – Karéin-Mayréij – who has abundant reason to make carry through with threats to “lay this kingdom in ruins, from end to end”. Chu wants to reason with the U.S. government; Jacobson just wants to beat sense into it; but America’s cruel, corrupt leader isn’t in much of a mood to listen, to anybody. Chances are… that will turn out badly for him.
